  1. Lesson 2 The Solar System This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577. This work reflects only its authors’ views; the European Commission (Research Executive Agency) cannot be held responsible for any use of the information contained therein.

  2. The Solar system In today's lesson: • we shall seek the main factor of the formation of the structure of the Solar system. • we shall also be acquainted with the celestial objects that we can observe besides the planets. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  3. Video projection Please watch the video about the travel of spacecraft Rosetta, and formulate your own questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEQuE5N3rwQ This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  4. Questions by the students This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  5. The Questions of the lesson • Why do the planets revolve around the Sun? Which is the main factor for the formation of the structure of the Solar system? • Which celestial bodies can we observe in the Solar system, besides the planets? • Which professions are related to Astronomy? This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  6. Answers-Hypotheses of the students This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  7. Modelling the trajectories in the Solar system In the presented construction please observe and record: • The trajectory of a small sphere on a plane. What kind of trajectory does the small sphere follow? • The trajectory of a small sphere in curved space. We place the weight sinker in the ring. What kind of trajectory does the small sphere follow? • The same sphere rolls with a small initial velocity, but at an angle of 90°, in relation to the previous step. What kind of trajectory does the small sphere follow now? • We use 4 spheres. What kind of trajectory do the small spheres follow now? This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  8. Celestial bodies of our solar system Please watch the videos the simulations and the images and fill in the blanks in the text on your worksheet This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  16. Meteorites This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  17. ΠΙΝΑΚΑΣ ΠΛΑΝΗΤΩΝ - ΔΟΡΥΦΟΡΩΝ Classification of the Planets of the solar system according to the number of their satellites This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  18. Comparison between the answers of the students and the conclusions This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  19. Application Please choose the right answer based on today's lesson: Why do planets have a spherical shape? a) Due to gravity b) Due to the solar radiation c) Due to their atmosphere d) Due to the presence of the oceans e) Due to the curvature of space around the Sun • f) Due to the curvature of space around each celestial bodies This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577

  20. Astronomy and Professions We want to prepare the foundation of a colony on Mars, which will have to sustain itself.  This means that it will have to provide on its own for own of food, water, oxygen etc. Which 4 STEM specialties do you believe that are necessary for such an undertaking and what kind of work do you think that each of them will have to carry? After this, present your proposals to the rest of your schoolmates in the classroom. * STEM specialties: for example, physicist, chemist, biologist, technologist, engineer, mathematician This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 710577
